White House pushing ahead with Trump’s Space Force

The Vice President reported that now to ensure space security, the United States employs about 60 thousand people.

Pence asserted that the U.S. was going to protect its interests in space and said that to understand American defence today, is to understand the interrelationship between satellite technology and aircraft, ships at sea and submarines under the sea. Pence is head of the National Space Council, a government body that was revived a year ago to draw up plans for the space force envisioned by Trump.

Later Tuesday, the National Space Council, convened by the White House and chaired by the vice president, met at the National Defense University. 'That treaty...doesn't ban military activity, ' Pence said.

The new positioning comes as the Trump administration moves to potentially exit a major nuclear weapons pact with Russian Federation and possibly bolster US military operations in the heavens by forming a "Space Force".

A lack of centralized leadership and accountability threatened US ability to "advance our national security in space", Pence said.

"Space - exactly the same potential battlefield, like the land, sky and sea, and America will dominate there just as now we dominate here on Earth", - said Vice-President of the United States.

The idea has taken on a life of its own at Trump's rallies. "And there are a number of steps that will be launched in the very short term but that will ultimately lead to the launch of a Department of the United States Space Force in the next national Defense Authorization Act", Pence said.

"Russia, in the very same year, assigned a part of its aerospace division to a space force", the vice president said.

Vice-President Mike Pence, who heads the national space Council, said that the space forces, the creation of which was announced in August 2018 presidential administration, there will be formed no later than in 2020. The Secretary of the Defense will then be expected to create a joint organization to detangle regulation and speed up space technology development.
